Biography

While their hometown of Scranton, Pennsylvania is mostly known in popular culture for being perfectly mundane, gothic metalcore band Motionless in White make music that's anything but tame. Blending the raw fury of metalcore with the dramatic atmospherics of goth-metal and industrial, the band has cultivated a dark and moody sound that owes as much to Type O Negative as it does to Slayer. Formed in 2005, the band put out a a handful of EPs before inking a deal with Fearless Records and releasing their full-length debut. The resulting Creatures arrived in 2010, followed by their sophomore effort, Infamous, in 2012. ~ Gregory Heaney
